Within minutes the whole structure is razed to gro und. 25th June 1993 : Balbir Singh takes rebirth as Mohammad Aamir when he embraces I slam (Al-hamdu Lillah) having lived lives and experienced psyches poles apart fr om each other. Mohammad Aamir admonishes the Muslim Ummah about their responsibi lities and is trying his utmost to awaken them from the slumber they are in. Master Mohammad Aamir (former Balbir Singh) gives in this write-up( Part-I) a de tailed account of his sensational phase of life beginning from affiliations with the Shiv Sena Youth Wing to his ultimate reversion to Islam, as narrated to Ahm ad Awah of Armugan-i-Waliullah, Phulat, U.P. I COME FROM A VILLAGE OF district Panipat in Haryana. Born in a Rajput family on 6th December 1970, I was named Balbir Singh. My father in addition to being an honourable farmer was headmaster in the primary school. A good human being at he art his religion was philanthropy. Cruelty in any form and against anyone was ju st unbearable for him. He was an eye witness to the communal roits of 1947 and w ould talk about these with a heavy heart. He considered the massacre of Muslims (during the partition and riots following that) a blot on the face of India and was always on the forefront in rehabilitating the remaining Muslims. Muslim chil dren in the school and their education was his special concern. I did my matricu

lation from the local high school and got admission for my intermediate in Panip at. Joining the Shiva Sena Panipat is a strong hold of Shiva Sena perhaps second only to Mumbai. The youth and the people associated with schools are very much linked to Shive Sena. I cam e across some Shiva Sainks and ultimately got enrolled in Panipat branch of the Sena. Owing to the historical position of Panipat, the youth there are poisoned against Muslims especially Babar and other Muslim rulers. When my father came to know that I had joined Shive Sena he tried to advise me and explain the situati on from historical perspective. He would relate the stories of justice and unbia sed treatment meted out by Babur and Aurangzeib towards their non-Muslim subject . He would explain that the British distorted the history and made us fight each other and weaken the nation. In light of the communal roits and massacres of 19 47 he tried his utmost to keep me away from Shive Sena, but I wouldn t listen. I was entrusted with special responsibilities during 1990 Rath Yatra of L.K. Adv ani. During the Rath Yatra our leaders poisoned us against Muslims and the hatre d against the community was at its climax. I swore by Shivaji Come what may, I wi ll go alone and demolish the bloody structure at the site of Ram Mandir . As a reward for my services during Rath Yatra I was elevated to the position of Vice President Shive Sena Youth Wing. I took charge of my young team and reached Ayodhia on 30th October. Enroute police stopped us at Faizabad. I along with so me of my friends escaped from police and reached Ayodhiya but it was too late. T he situation had got out of control and police had resorted to firing. Consequen tly Babri Masjid was sealed off. After trying so hard I could not reach Babri Ma sjid, my hatred for Muslims was out of bounds. I would repeatedly tell my compan ions better to die than live like this. How unjust! Ram s servants be shot at, righ t at Rams birth place and that too because of these bloody Arab pirates . I was in furiated and wanted to go to Lucknow to shoot Mulayim Singh with my own hands. R oits were going on in the country and I was restless waiting for the moment when I could demolish Babri Masjid with my own hands. Raizing the Babri Masjid Day by day the unfortunate moment was approaching, which I considered a moment of bliss at that time. I took many of my hot headed friends with me and reached Ayo dya well in advance on 1st December 1992. Yoginder Pal a young man from a Jat vi llage of Sonipat was with me. He was my best friend. His father was a farmer and philanthropist too. In addition to his father, his uncle too had tried hard to stop their lone son from going to Ayodhiya, but to no avail. The night before 6th December 1992, we had reached very close to the Babri Masji d and spent the night on the roof tops of the Muslim houses adjacent to the Babr i Masjid. I had apprehensions that we might be stopped from the sacred mission l ike 30th October 1990. In the heart of my hearts, I was thinking of proceding fo r Kar Seva even if our leaders didn t turn up, but our group leader stopped us and insisted on maintaining discipline. Oma Bharti s speech turned the Kar Sevaks vol atile. During her speech I along with Yoginder Pal came down from the roof of th e house and ascended the roof of the Babri Masjid, with a spade in my hand. Oma Bharti shouted Dhaka Aik aur doo, Babri Masjid tood doo (one more blow, raze the B abri Masjid). That was it. I was seeing my dream coming true. I struck the centr al dome of Babri Masjid with a mighty blow of my spade coupled with an ear deafe ning shout; Baghwan Ram Ki Jai . Within minutes the job was over. Babri Masjid was no more there. With the mission accomplished our joy was boundless. After placin g the statues of Ram there, we paid our respects and returned home happily takin g with us two bricks of the Babri Masjid which I displayed to my friends in Pani pat. My friends would praise me for my outstanding achievement. The bricks were

placed in Shive Sena office and a gathering was organized to celebrate the event . Every one would praise me in his speech and the feeling of the pride, that in service of Ramji it was a youth of Panipat who struck his spade first on Babri M asjid, was running high. My family disowns me I proudly related this at my home. My father felt displeased and saddened and de clared in no ambiguous words Now you and me, both can not live in this home. If y ou live here I am going, otherwise you have got to leave. I do not want to see o ne who demolished Lord s house. Do not show me your face till I die . This was unexp ected. I tried to make him understand and tried to explain the position of respe ct which I had achieved in Panipat. His reaction was that the nation was destine d to doom owing to such exploiters and in a state of extreme anger he started to move out of the home. I sensed the gravity of the situation and volunteered to abandon the home where the servants of Ram Temple were called oppressors. So I l eft my home to live in Panipat. My friend turns insane! Yoginder Pal, my friend, announced that a couple of bricks of the brutal structu re that stood at the place of Ram Temple are in our possession. My (Hindu) breth ren are invited to express their faith by urinating the bricks. Every one would come and in utter contempt would take part in the nasty act of urinating on the bricks. The Lord of mosque was acting in His own way. Four or five days later Yo ginder Pal experienced a total mental breakdown. In the state of complete lunacy he would tear down all his clothes. Being the lone son of honorable land lord t he situation was turning disgusting. During these fits of madness he would time and again try to take off the clothes of his mother. He would cling to her and r epeatedly attempted and demanded to commit incest with her. Muslim Clerics Help The family especially his father got extremely worried. They took him to many Mu slim clerics, prayed for Lord s forgiveness and would offer alms but Yoginder trie d to molest his mother and only neighbours could save her after she cried for he lp. In order to keep the situation under control Yoginder was chained and his fa ther decided to shoot him instead of risking the honour of the family. Just befo re he could put his plan in action some one suggested him to see the senior cler ic (Molvi Sahab) in the Madrasa of Sonipat Eidgah. Just see him once and if the s ituation doesn t improve then you can do as you please suggested the adviser. Chowd hry Ragubir Singh took his son Yoginder Pal to Sonipat, Eidgah but the cleric (M olvi Sb.) had left the day before. He was told that the cleric visits the school on 1st of every month for one day. Disappointed he started looking for the loca l cleric only to know that he too had left with senior one. A shopkeeper from th e Eidgah gave him the address of cleric in Delhi and informed him that the cleri c is coming to his residence Boowana,Delhi the following Wednesday. Along with c hained Yoginder, Chowdhary Ragubir Singh heads for Boowana. The cleric of Boowan a Mosque was a disciple of Molvi Kalim Sidiqi Sahib. The cleric informed Chowdha ry that owing to the tight schedule Molvi Kalim Sidiqi Sahib has not been able t o fulfil the desire of his friends to come to Boowana for a long time. But this time he has promised to be here (in Boowana) at Zuhar prayer after his two day t rip in the area. The cleric of Boowana added that owing to the tense situation m ost of the clerics (Imams) and teachers had gone to their families in UP and man y had not shown up even after a month. Molvi Kalim Sidiqi Sahib had delivered a speech on this topic and made clear that if Muslims had approached these non-Mus lim brethren and explained the message of Islam, Allah and the mosques, the situ ation like 6th December 1992 would not have occurred. Molvi Sahib had added that we Muslims are equally responsible for the destruction of Babri Masjid and if w e come to senses even now and discharge our duties regarding inviting others to

the message of Islam these demolishers of the mosques will turn to be builders o f the mosques. Prophet of Islam, Mohammad (May peace and blessings of Allah be o n him) had prayed in similar situations O Allah guide my people (to righteousness ) for they know not (what they are doing) . At the time when Chowdhary Ragubir Singh met the cleric of Boowana (whose name w as perhaps Molvi Bashir Ahmad) he was extremely impressed by the speech of his s piritual guide Molvi Kalim Sidiqi Sahib. He informed Chowdhary Ragubir Singh tha t he used to exorcize the evil spirits but now his spiritual teacher has advised him to abstain from that as lying and mixing with opposite sex is a prerequisit e in that profession. Your son is not under any evil spell but this is a punishm ent from the Lord. You have got an opportunity, our spiritual guide is coming he r on following Wednesday afternoon. You will have to put your problem before him , we hope your son will recover soon. But the deal is you will have to embrace I slam once your son recovers. Chowdhary Ragubir affirmed: I am ready to do anythin g once my son recovers . Finally Allah s Mercy Arrives The following Wednesday Chowdhary Ragubir Singh reached Boowana at 8. a.m along with chained Yoginder. Molvi Kalim Sidiqi also arrived well before Zuhar prayer. With Yoginder Pal Singh chained and without clothes Chowdhary sahib cried bitte rly and fell on the feet of Molvi Sahab, Molvi Sahab, I tried to stop the rascal but he came under the influence of some rogues in Panipat . Molvi Sahab refrained him from prostrating before him and then listened the whole story. He said to Chowdhary Sahib, By demolishing the house of Omnipotent Allah he has i ncurred such a wrath that if the Lord puts an end to the whole world it will be justified. It was just too light a sentence from the Lord that only he is being p unished. We too are his servants and we too are a party to that sacrilegious act . We have not discharged our duty of delivering the message of truth to the demo lishers of the mosque. Now we can do nothing! Only way out is that you beg for f orgiveness from the Lord and we too beg for His forgiveness . Molvi Sahib added, Du ring the time we are in the mosque you concentrate towards Lord Almighty and wit h the broken heart pray for forgiveness. Pray O Lord only you can alleviate my m isery . Chowdhary Sahib fell again on his feet and submitted If I were that good wh y would something like this have befallen me. You are close to Him, please do so mething . Molvi Sahib said, You have come to me for help. Now do whatever I say Chow dhary Sahib tacitly accepted. Molvi Sahib went to the mosque, offered his prayer s followed by a short speech and supplication. Molvi Sahib requested everyone to pray for Chowdhary Sahib. At the end of the programme some refreshment was serv ed in the mosque. Yoginder re-born as Mohammad Omar When people were coming out of the mosque, Lord Almighty had already showered hi s mercies. Yoginder had covered his body with the turban of his father and was t alking to his father as a normal human being. Every one was overjoyed. Imam Sahi b of Boowana was delighted and reminded Chowdhary Sahib his promise. He also war ned him that if he did not fulfill his commitment Yoginder s position could be wor se. Chowdhary sahib replied Molvi Sahib my seven generations can not repay your g enerosity. I am at your disposal . When Molvi Kalim Sidiqi came to know about this , he advised Imam Sahib that he has not exercised caution in dealing with the si tuation. Chowdhary Sahib started moving towards mosque when Yoginder Pal asked, Father whe re are you going? He replied To embrace Islam . Yoginder said, It is me who shall be the Muslism first as I have to construct the Babri Masjid again. In such a pleasa nt atmosphere both performed ablutions and recited the Kalima- Islamic Testimony of Faith. Chowdhary Ragubir Singh was named Mohammad Usman and Yoginder Pal Sin

gh was named as Mohammad Omar. Overjoyed Mohammad Usman and Mohammad Omar both went to their village and met t he Imam Sahib (cleric) of the small mosque of their village. Imam Sahib gave the good news to Muslims and soon everyone in the area came to know about the episo de. Hindus too came to know about this and a meeting of influential members of t he community was organized in urgency. In the meeting it was decided that both t he persons shall be killed during the night. Otherwise many other s faith will be at stake. One of the persons present in the meeting informed Molvi Sahib about t he plan. With Allah s blessing both were taken out of village and shifted to Phula t, U.P. A few days later both Mohammad Usman and Mohammad Omar went with Jamaat for forty days course. Later on his mother too embraced Islam. Mohammad Omer was married to an honourable family in Delhi. They have sold their property in the village and set up an industrial unit in Delhi, where all of them live happily n ow.
